This is a site where I ramble about things and post things and stuff. I'm Leo Linden, a guy who is really into Vaporwave and 80s/90s/early 2000s culture. I also like music ranging from Vaporwave to Gorillaz to the Beatles. I have a dream that one day we will start looking to the past to look to the future for some things, to really appriciate the way things are now. Neocities is a part of that I think. With a lot of people using old styles and even creating small communities on here that link each others sites and stuff. I hope that you enjoy the site. I'll be putting more stuff up and adding design stuff occasionally. Thanks y'all! --Leo
So I've spent a good chunk of the last few days being depressed about the fall of American retail. Watching videos about Kmart, listening to Kmart closing things, Sears, JCPennys, etc. How it's all hanging on by a thread. The whole thing is just falling apart now isn't it. One day, even if its in a very small area in a small community, it should be brought back, ya know? This is all kind of depressing. If you want to be sad about it too, here's some next level depressing retail destruction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvnJImigj78
I'm still getting the site together. It's 12 AM and I need to go to bed soon. I'm putting together this site so I can keep building onto it and see where it takes me. I really like the idea of my own little web space that people can visit. I should make a guest book or something so I can interact with people visiting the site. I'm hoping on this site to post just my ramblings about music and culture out in the open, but expanding what my site is too would be cool too
So a little about myself then, I'm Leo Linden, I am a teenager who likes many different things such as music, writing, politics, film, programming. I'm hoping keeping this site up will help my programming, as I may want to add onto it with some Javascript stuff in the future and other types of design things. Anyways, I do a lot of different things with my spare time, I'm a boy scout, I do web design, I make music, I play games (occasionally), and I write. I am also a part of Netviews, a new Vaporwave multimedia live stream project that I want to help bring balance back to the Vaporwave community, as it is very stagnant right now for a genre with a lot of potential. If you are interested in that, take a look here.
As you may have noticed, I am very intrigued by the retro style webpages, as they have a weird charm and personal feeling to them as opposed to the webpages of today. It has a personal feeling, as if I am really looking into your writings, as it is mostly texted based, instead of looking from the outside in.
I'm going to update this blog thing frequently, hopefully. This one will be just normal day to day blogging. Album Reviews will be my music reviews (may change that to just REVEIWS in general). Vaporwave will be my Vaporwave ramblings and other vaporwave content that I want to post there and make avaliable. Other Writings and Ramblings will be my more official documents and longer rants about culture and such. I'll be adding onto the site and writing stuff in as time goes on. Thanks for reading this if you are. I'm going to get a guestbook together soon ,or something like it, soon. Don't know the first thing about it though. I'll take a look
Thanks,
Leo
